The Plasma Cannon is pretty good as an AI weapon, but it requires a direct hit for OHKs. The splash is a good finisher though.
Here is my usual Plasma Cannon fit:
Assault M/1 Series
Plasma Cannon
MZ209 Assault SMG
1x Complex Damage Mod
2x Enhanced Shield Extenders
1x F/45 Remote Explosive
2x Basic Reactive Plates.
It seems to do exceptionally well against Infantry, but it requires immense amounts of skill. Keep in mind that the weapon is still an AV weapon, so it shouldn't be a primary or go-to choice against infantry.
As for it's AV purposes, It works great when you want to cut down a tank's shields before blowing your REs. It completely fails elsewhere and is near useless against even the most in-experienced dropship pilots.
Personally, I believe that the PLC's direct damage should be modeled like this:
STD: 1320HP
ADV: 1650HP
PRO: 1980HP
The splash damage shouldn't be increased to much. It should reward the people who are skilled enough to get a direct hit, but punish those who aren't skilled enough to land their shots properly. Along with this, if the splash damage alone was enough to guarantee a kill, then we would easily see them being used as "rocket-propelled shotguns" (similar to how the dumbfire Swarm Launchers were being used as).
Also, If you want a good suit for Plasma Cannons, I believe that the Gallente Assault suit has a fitting reduction bonus to Hybrid Weapons, which would be heaven when you use the fitting optimization skill.
Next On To-Do List: Particle Cannons
To create a vehicle free environment.
There can only be one!

Well that sucks.
I have a friend in my corp named Ruunt Scarculo who has a Gal Assault fit that pretty much requires him to have the bonus if he wants to use his Duvolle.

I've actually seen IWS running a KLA on a Logistics G-1 suit before.
When I saw him fighting a tank, I went to go grab my Swarm but I ended up getting sniped >.<
I didn't see him kill the tanks, but his name did pop up on the kill feed after I died. (Left Side)
As for his "Try Harder" comment. He's obviously trolling.
